How big board would you suggest for a 100kg beginner/intermediate surfer? 185, 175/172? And what's the difference between "Go" and "Go windsurf" boards??
Great video! I am a former intermediate advanced sailor who use to use a 9'6" high performance glass board. I would like to get back into sailing. I sail Santa Barbara, and Ventura California. Ventura can blow a consistent 15 to 18 knots, Santa Barbara is usually lighter, and 10 to 15. I would like to get a Starboard Go, I weigh 210lbs and would like to get a board that will float me, but also be functional in higher winds. I water start and jibe, but would also like to be able to use the board to teach my son. What do you suggest?
Hi, either a Go or a Carve in one of the larger sizes would suit! The Carve offers more high end performance than the Go, yet still user friendly. The Go however, has the centre fin option which would be great to teach your son! Perhaps head down to your local Starboard Stockists to have a look at both boards to help decide which is best for you :)
I go dinghy sailing, I tried windsurfing once on an 80's board which I brought for £10, but found it impossible and quickly gave up. I made the mistake of assuming that because I can sail that windsurfing would be easy. The Go Windsurf looks a lot more user friendly, especially the 175 or 186. Are they much more stable than the older style boards? I live next to a nice beach in Lowestoft and it seems a shame not to go for a blast.
Yes, much more stable thanks to the width and volume distribution! the latest Starboard Go is by far the easiest and most progressive board to learn to windsurf on.
@@tushinghamsalesltd Thanks for the reply.I'm considering the Start too, it's like a ship. With the right conditions, this beach has zero beach break, so it's perfect for a big board. Cheers
Hi, there's a size recommendation on Starboard's website, alternatively get in touch with your local Starboard Retailer, the'll be able to advise further.

What volume for a 85kg sailor?
